Code of conduct can never be over emphasize in banking industries as it goes a long way to improve productivities of the banking institutions. Professional codes of conduct are those principles governing a particular skilled work in an organization. It is a professional criteria by which an office system manager an even other office managers differentiate between the right and wrong. Just one recorded of an action that is unaccepted on the part of a secretary may largely determine her success or failure in an organization, firm or an entry industry: the inference begins drawn here is in no way hypothetical but is based on real-life experience. The influence of a professional code of conduct of office system managers is therefore of critical significance in secretarial service delivery in banking industries. Musgrave in Njoku (2000) maintained that there are a number of characteristics that are common to all professional. The knowledge required to practice the way in which entry to the professional is ethical code governing work ethic. In this regard, it is significant to remark that every work situation or environment is unique and since the secretary is expected to play the roles of a diplomat par excellence, she would be expected to be into the job such personal and business attributes as punctuality, modesty, human relations, loyal, secrecy and effective communication skill to be able to cope with the demands of the office. Akpan, (2000) Stated that a secretary must meet the standard of behavior set out for him or her. He or she must possess the personal and business attributes required. Professional code of conduct involves the display of the personal and business attributes of a secretary in her profession. These include punctuality for increase productivity, modesty dressing for increasing the corporate image of the organization and inter-personal relationship among colleagues, (Bittner 2002).
